Description
Finally Done!
The idea was to group together some of my favorite characters along the same theme, and here the theme was "shady characters" or "characters I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them".
From left to right, top to bottom:
Ulquiorra Shiffer, Arrancar #4
Ichimaru Gin, Captain Squad 3
Urahara Kisuke, former Captain Squad 12
Shirosaki Ichigo, Ichigo's inner hollow
I adore the right side.
I've got Shirosaki as my desktop pic right now.Size: 18x24"
Technique: Charcoal Reduction
Materials: 2B 4B 6B Black Condensed Charcoal, 2B White Condensed Charcoal, Medium and Soft Black Vine Charcoal, White Charcoal Pencil, Prismacolor Nupastels, Kneaded Rubber Eraser, Pink Pearl Plastic Eraser, Straightedge, Fingers for blending, Lava brand soap for clean-up, matte workable fixative
Time: ??? probably around 20 hours
Many various references used, all from the manga, except for Ulquiorra, which was a collab with *siriuslylostwerewolf . Her lineart is here: [link]
Next four panel work... Rukia's boys... Ichigo, Renji, Byakuya, Kaien. I think I shall enjoy that one a lot

Thank you so much! Hopefully I can get started soon on the next four panel set. I adore charcoal. It may be messy, but if you mess up you just blacken it back in and start over

Oh, sorry for the spoiler. But I suppose it's something to be expected as well. Only someone with that level power would be able to pull off the stuff he does
It'll be soon in the anime

"Ichimaru Gin, Captain Squad 3" Shouldn't that be former captain? xDD
This is one sexy piece of art
I can't wait for the next one

I wish I had more time. Seems like it'll be so long until I can get it done. And I don't have my paper with me this weekend, so I can only use mom's smaller stuff if I have time to work. Maybe I can get a one-off done... Ishida or Renji. Or a two panel of Isshin and papa Ishida... don't know yet

It turned out great. You really captured this ghost guy's evilness.

Wow! Personally, I find traditional media quite difficult. Making a mistake, especially with charcoal= near death.
Hats off to you
I'm starting to re-watch Bleach as part of my summer goals XD I gave up after fillers started...
Nice reminder for me to get started

I'm more of a manga fan than the anime. I'm just watching it as it comes out over here. I'm not much of one to hunt the episodes down and watch them online (unless my TiVo for some reason doesn't record an episode for me
